In a closely contested matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Houston Texans, Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby suffered a kneeback injury. However, initial reports suggest that Crosby should be okay.
Crosby's injury occurred during the second quarter of the game, but he was able to continue playing. Following the game, Raiders coach Josh McDaniels stated that Crosby had undergone tests and was expected to be fine.
The Raiders ultimately secured a 38-20 victory over the Texans, thanks in part to a strong defensive performance.
